    fuel system cleaning

    LiquiMoly Diesel Purge is very good stuff - you run the engine on it neat with the intake and return pipes going into the can in the engine bay until it's gone. You can tell the engine is more perky afterwards and that it's not just a placebo because none of the cleaner goes into the regular...

    300TDi front axle rebuild and upgraded brakes.

    That's a neat job so far - keep it coming, always nice to see shiny bits and piccies :D

    DIY radiator recore

    Great little vid there, well done on putting it up - that's something that most would leave to a specialist. I couldn't find any prices online for a core for my 300tdi, but will look a bit harder when the time comes to do it.

    What happens when you get a little click happy on Flea bay! (Disco 1 200tdi)

    I've used a few easy on panels/mounts and they're good. YRM panels are better. I made my own body/sill mounts last year after the easy on panel rotted away and I easily improved on what they had done (my disco crash repair thread is here somewhere). Same with the sills really - I did the box...

    Friction modifier for TD5 R380 gearbox?

    Same as above, I've used zx1 extralube all over my disco with full synthetic lubes in everything bar the engine and the difference is very noticeable. Just to add, I would probably do a fluid change on its own first and drive around for a few days to see if the noise is still there, so as not...

    Close call...,

    Bloody Nora! That really is a close shave... Thank God it wasn't worse! Did your limbs get squashed at all?

    Veg oil conversion

    Nah, not too complicated - I just haven't explained it very well :D Your plan/setup actually sounds very similar. I've not played with my IP timing for WVO but I've fitted a boost pin which has made a world of difference. Filtering - I used to just use bag/sock filters from FilterBagMan, but...

    Veg oil conversion

    I take your point :) Yep, heat exchanger and a 12 volt glow plug heater bock as additional warming after the IP. I'm assembling some kit for water injection, purely for cleanliness and ensuring things stay running for a long time - my Disco IS going to become Trig's broom! :D My set up is a...

    Hi Kurgan, I'm skint until later on this month but I would like the ABS ecu to replace my faulty one - would you stick it in the corner for me please until I can funish you with some scottish pesos? Mainly cos I'm a cheeky bugger :D

    Veg oil conversion

    Yeah I'm not buying that, the oil is nice and hot and so thinned by the time it gets to the IP/injectors so I'm doubting it's slow burn, and what about slow or incomplete burn lower down the rev range? The power delivery is pretty much the same up to the rev limitation as when it's on diesel...

    Really good progress Foz, keep the updates coming even if people don't respond - I know I'm guilty of that but enjoy reading updates like this. ;)

    Veg oil conversion

    I'm not sure where you're getting that info from Mark, but that's contrary to everything that I've heard/read since I started researching and using veg oil as fuel. In my own experience this has been borne out by adding lube to the fuel like Millers Ecomax, ZX1 or Two stroke oil - without...

    Veg oil conversion

    You'll need to add something to add back the fuel lubricity which is very important for the injection pump and injectors - mineral two stroke oil is good, as is millers ecomax and ZX1 extralube, though they go up in cost in that order. Between my car and my mates two cars, we've now done nearly...

    Veg oil conversion

    As above with what The Q says - Contrary to the horror stories, I run my 300tdi with a twin tank setup and have done over 40,000m now on free waste veg oil and find its the only way to afford to drive around like its still the 1990's! I love that feeling of just going for a drive or doing a...
